At the time of adopting the constitution, there was only one union territory of Andaman and Nicobar islands. Presently, there are seven union territories.NCT of Delhi, Chandigarh and Lakshadweep were formed by separating the territory from the erstwhile states. Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu and Pondicherry were formed from acquired territories[clarification needed].

The Parliament of India can pass a law to amend the Constitution and provide a Legislature with elected Members and a Chief Minister for a Union Territory, as it has done for Delhi and Puducherry.
